Despite the multi-year long rumors surrounding Rajon Rondo potentially joining the Sacramento Kings via trade, it was still a surreal moment for me when I found out he had actually signed with the Kings. I loved the fit when those rumors started popping up years ago to the point where I didn’t think there was another attainable player in the entire NBA that could make this team better than Rajon Rondo could, and I had so much anecdotal evidence to back that up.
I lived 40 minutes from Boston throughout Rondo’s run with the Celtics.
